10 ALL WIIOMIT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, E. B.,TYLOR, of South Sudbury, in the county of Middlesex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and improved Clothes-Sprinkler; and that the following description, token in connection with the' accompanying drawings hereafter referred to, forms'c full and exact specification ofthe sonic, wherein I have set forth the nature and principles. of my said improvements by wlhich my invention may be distinguished from all others of a'similur'elass, together with such parts as I claim and desire to have secured to me by Letters Patent. l

The clothes-sprinkler embraced in the present invention consists in a reservoir for the water, with which, at the. bottom, a pipe communicates, extended to any definite or desired length, by a rubber or other iiexible tube terminating in a perforated head or cup, and provided witha valve for closing or opening the communication through such tube. In the accompanyingplatc of drawings my impro-ved clothes-sprinkler is illustrated-- Figure 1 being u side elevation of `the clothes-sprinkler, with the discharge end of the tube in central longitudinal section. I

A, in the drawings, represents a reservoir or vessel, which muy be made of sheet metal, or other suitable material, and of any desired size and shape, so as to hold a. greater or lesser amount of Water. B, a.' pipe inserted in bottom of reservoir A, with'the lower end of which pipe one end of a exible or elastic tube, C, is connected. This tube muy be m-ade of any length, according as 'may be desired or -found requisite, and at its louter end, D, is provided with a perforated nozzle or cap, E. F, a lever hung to the outside of tube C near its" nozzle, which lever extends in the direction ofA the length of the tube, und hns its lip G, upon the under side, held in close 'Contact with the vtube through a. rubber band, 1I, encircling the tube and lever, as showu'ir the drawings.

When the sprinkler, constructed as abovcdeseribed, is to be used, the reservoir is iirstilled with a suiiicieut quantity of water, and then hung or suspended at a suitable height to obtain or produce the requisite amount of pressure upon the water to force it through the tube und discharge it through its perforated ea-p or end', which, at the time, is properly presented or directed toward the clothes which are to be sprinkled by qit, the lever F serving to prevent the passage of the water through the tube when against the sume, but freely allowing it when removed by pressing upon its end, I. i

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new,l and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The reservoir A with its pipe B, having extension ilexible tube C terminating in a perforated head or cap, and provided with a lever, when :ill constructed-and arranged together substantially as and for the purpose described. i

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 31st dey of October. 1866 E. B. TAYLOR.
